Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

Emperor Xuande was in the early dynasty.In the early morning, the court is on the square in front of Huangji Gate, while the director of daily life is in the Qianqing Palace. The Qianqing Palace does not stand up to the civil and military officials, but only calls the ministers to enter the hall to face the saint.

Behind the Qianqing Palace, there is a small Jiaotai Palace, which is the Kunning Palace where the empress lives daily.

The couple live not too far away.

Empress Sun was dressing up, Zhang Shouyi was standing beside him, joking and joking, and Wang Shanggong chose matching jewelry and clothes for the empress.

After dressing up and dressing up, the sky is turning white, and the sun has not yet risen.

Wan Zhen'er heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, she looked out quietly, and saw many people in the corridor, wearing red and green, running around in a hurry.Holding a lantern and holding a box in his hand, he saw Master Zhang and several other people walking out slowly, surrounded by a graceful and dazzling beauty.

Lanterns illuminate the road, and the silk-netted sedan chair leans forward slightly to make it easier for the empress to get on the sedan chair.

Everything was quiet and there was no noise.

The little fire said softly: "This is the empress empress. My empress is now going to pay her respects to Queen Mother Zhang. She should see you when she comes back."

Wan Zhen'er: "Oh~"

Little Fireman asked again: "Are you not nervous? Are you not afraid?"

Wan Zhen'er blinked her big eyes, not knowing what fear was.

"Tsk, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

After a while, the whole group left, the empress was sitting in a sedan chair, a few eunuchs were carrying the sedan chair, and the rest of them followed on foot, going to the Palace of Compassionate Peace.

After waiting quietly for a while, the little fire fighters came out in a file, and one of them named 'Cheng En' said to Wan Zhen'er: "You can either come out and follow me, or take it with me honestly in the house, don't worry about it. You can’t afford to run around and touch, get dirty and break things.” These little eunuchs are not qualified to call themselves our family.

Wan Zhen'er asked, "What are you guys going to do?"

"Move the flowerpots." Fearing frost at night, the potted plants have all been moved into the house, and they will be moved out to bask in the sun in the morning.

Whether it’s the chrysanthemums in full bloom, calamus, small bamboo, arhat bamboo, or bonsai with green pines and cypresses, or kumquats that are about to bear fruit, bergamot that has already bear fruit, and those that are ready to be placed on the desk in winter The winter plums should be taken out one by one and placed in the open space in front of the hall, after the wind and the sun for a whole day, so that the fruit will be golden and the flowers will bloom well.

The little eunuchs are responsible for these things, and they must be taken out steadily and placed under the eaves and steps.

Wan Zhen'er looked at it for a while, and decided to go up to help, but was afraid of damaging these delicate bonsai. "Let me help, okay?"

"Okay. Hold it firmly and put it on the ground."

She moved the flower pots first, and then helped to cut off the dry and yellow leaves, and then took a soft cloth and wiped the leaves with rice washing water.

The rough envoys are sweeping the floor, and the fallen leaves of the night have to be cleaned up during the time when the empress is out. The big broom is sweeping the ground, which sounds very noisy.

The eunuch who was in charge of feeding the birds was cleaning up the row of birdcages under the eaves of the verandah. He first took out the birdcages that had been kept overnight in the house one by one, and then took off the cloth covers covering the cages one by one.Huang Yinger, parrot, and thrush all showed their true faces and chirped together.Then clean up the dirty things in the cage, lick the food, change the water, and hang the cage high.

The eunuch in charge of raising dogs is putting a few cute puppies on the ground for grooming. Autumn is the peak season for shedding, so they need to be groomed every day.

The maids who were sweeping the floor cursed secretly in their hearts. They had just swept the fallen leaves on the ground, and they had to sweep the dog hair again.

Chen You leaned against the door to watch them work, mainly staring at the girl who didn't face him, he sneered secretly in his heart, it's not the time to be courteous and show off, and the empress can't see, who are you showing diligence?You're not from the palace, so you dare to meddle indiscriminately. I'll report to the empress after you break the flowerpot.

Unexpectedly, the empress came back very quickly.

Usually, I have to sit in the Palace of Compassion and Ning for a while, talking with the Queen Mother. Although Queen Mother Zhang doesn't like Sun Niangniang very much, Sun Niangniang has to make up for her smile.

But today is different, the Empress Dowager recited sutras late last night, and was about to have a good night's sleep, and when she went to sleep, she ordered the Empress to pay her respects.

At the second quarter of Yin time, the palace gate opened, and the eunuchs and mothers of the Compassionate Ning Palace came out to deliver a message. They met Sun Niangniang on the way and invited her to go back.

Zhang Shouyi said at the window of the sedan chair, "Please show me, my lady."

Sun Niangniang yawned delicately: "Go back to the palace."

Wang Shanggong and Zhang Guanshi helped the empress to get off the sedan chair. She stepped out of the sedan chair among the fallen leaves and dog hair. On both sides of the road were golden chrysanthemums, purple chrysanthemums, and white chrysanthemums in full bloom.

Wan Zhen'er and a few other little firemen are moving the five bergamots. The five pots are not placed in the right place, blocking the potted plants behind, so they have to be moved.

Although the bergamot flower pot is not big, it has luxuriant branches and leaves. It looks quite big, and it is also comparable to her stature.

Cheng En said in a low voice: "Hey, the empress has returned to the palace, it's really early today."

Xi Fu: "Miss Wan, don't look back, work honestly, you will see it later."

Shanxiu who has been silent all this time: "Stop talking. Be careful of Chen You later."

Xifu said: "My lady wants to ask you how she looks, don't talk about Chang'e, my lady doesn't like Chang'e."

"I've written it down." Wan Zhen'er didn't know why they said these things to herself, but they were probably all good things, she could hear it, and she was going to follow suit.In fact, the hearts of the three little firemen are very simple. Whoever comes to help with work is considered a good person.

Empress Sun saw Wan Zhen'er at a glance. The court ladies and fire fighters were wearing standard clothes, only Wan Zhen'er was dressed differently from others.She asked Left and Right: "Who is that little girl carrying the flowerpot?"

Zhang Shouyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is the 'alternative' palace lady that the villain has found for her. She is also a fellow of the villain's hometown. She is quite well-behaved, she speaks generously, and is also very diligent. The villain thinks she can ask her to have a look."

Empress Sun said with a smile: "You have a heart, this matter was originally taught to Chen You, but I was afraid that you would be too busy."

"To share the worries for the empress, and to prepare a nanny for the little emperor's grandson, how dare you pretend to be busy."

Sun Niangniang nodded: "That's right, Chen You told me that you have no time to do it, so I taught him how to do it. This bastard, dare to lie to me. Tell her to put the things down, ha, the little thing hasn't done it yet. This flower pot is tall."

Chen You had already come over and was about to speak.

Zhang Shouyi said: "Chen You has prepared more than 30 little girls, all of them are called to come and have a look, so that he will not complain secretly, Madam, that you listen to me and believe in me."

Chen You also felt that Zhang Shouyi was pretending to be a good person here, but this was pretty good, just to give that dead girl a chance to show off, hmph.

Empress Sun was secretly angry, what's the matter, I reused Zhang Shouyi, and Chen You secretly said that I listened and believed?Pooh!

She Shi Shi ran into the room, sat on the throne in the middle, and drank a bowl of warm Poria cocos cream.

Poria powder, Angelica powder, milk, honey, a bowl every day, beautifies the skin.

Zhang Shouyi came out and stood at the door, and nodded to Wan Zhener: "Wan Zhener, come here."

"Hey, here we come." Wan Zhen'er responded, stood up, and stepped out of the enchanted circle of flower pots steadily, only to see that she was wearing a red coat and a light green skirt, all made of cotton.I don't know if it's because of sleeping well, eating well, or just working, but the apple-like cheeks are flushed and look particularly good.Standing in front of Master Zhang, he looked energetic and solid.

Zhang Shouyi smiled sinisterly, held her by the shoulders and pulled her behind him: "Hide behind me, don't poke your head."

Wan Zhen'er didn't know why, so she stood behind him, blatantly and carefully looking at the embroidery scattered on his body-it's so beautiful!

She is full of curiosity about everything in the palace and everything in front of her eyes.

When Sun Niangniang started to drink bird's nest soup, Chen You brought out all the little girls who had been locked up in the house all night like ducks. These little girls were seven or eight years old, and the youngest were four or five years old. Fat or thin, timid and a little listless, like a quail.

The curtain at the entrance of the main hall was rolled up, and these little girls had to kowtow to the empress outside the house, and they were not allowed to enter the house.

Not all the maids who enter the palace are beauties, and a group of court ladies who enter the palace at the age of five or six to do rough work can't see much beauty. Girls from ordinary families also have to work. Those who have money are fatter and stronger. Although he is thin and small, he is also strong.

Zhang Shouyi said: "Chen You, let them come over five by five, so that the empress can see clearly."

Chen You felt that what he said was right, so he followed his words.And let people of the same age stand together, lest there be a big difference in age and height.

Zhang Shouyi wiped his back with his hand, touched Wan Zhen'er's furry head, and estimated that her height was as high as my ribs, and Chen You was a head shorter than me, so the little maids around him were very short.

When the curtain was opened and the empress looked out with a bowl, first two groups of older, taller and stronger little girls kowtowed, and they reported their names and places of origin, and they were replaced by a row of shorter and thinner little girls.

Zhang Shouyi chuckled, and pulled Wan Zhen'er out: "Go down, kneel beside them and kowtow to your mother."

Wan Zhen'er went down confused, stood in a row, knelt and kowtowed.

Chen You's face turned blue, not from freezing in the cold wind, but from being angry.

The five little girls in this row were originally about the same stature, although they were a little shorter and younger, so you couldn't tell, but when this little girl came over, she was half a head taller than others, and the faces of others were either sallow or pale , as long as she is pink, she looks so conspicuous.

To be honest, Eunuch Chen doesn't know such a word in later generations, otherwise he would have to say that Eunuch Zhang is a "scheming watch".

Wan Zhen'er imitated the pattern of those young ladies before: "My name is Wan Zhen'er, I was born in Xuande five years ago, and I am from Zhucheng, Qingzhou, Shandong."

Empress Sun was very surprised: "You are only four years old?"

"Yes." Wan Zhen'er looked around, a little embarrassed: "I have grown tall since I was a child."

Empress Sun saw that her complexion was so good, her voice was clear, tall, strong and full of strength, unlike those little girls beside her who bowed their heads and trembled, and were recommended by Zhang Shouyi: "She stays here. Zhang Shouyi , you have a good eye."

Under Chen You's angry eyes, Zhang Shouyi smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Ma'am, for your compliment."

At this moment, a little black fat man walked in with square steps, Chen You hurriedly told the maids to stay away, and Zhang Shouyi also called Wan Zhen'er over.

The little black fat man walked to the front of the court: "Baby, pay your respects to the queen."

Empress Sun shouted happily: "Come in, my son, it's cold outside."

Then everyone said: "The prince is a thousand years old."

The crown prince walked up the steps in square steps, and suddenly turned his head to glance at a bunch of little girls. When he saw the strong girl, he took a closer look and went into the room.

I talked with my mother for a while, and ate some snacks with my mother. I met my father who was next to court, and had a meal with my parents.

Emperor Xuande asked: "Do you want to add people to the palace?"

Empress Sun said happily: "Your Majesty, our son is now eight years old, and he will marry a wife and have children in seven or eight years. I will prepare a few young and strong girls in advance and bring them up in the palace so that they will be of good character. And knowing the basics, when Qi Zhen's child is born, it happens to be a nanny, wouldn't it be more suitable than Qi Zhen's Fan family and Liu family."

Emperor Xuande squinted his eyes and thought happily, my son was born late, but my grandson may not be late: "What your mother said is very reasonable."

The Crown Prince muttered: "Sister Fan and Sister Liu are very nice, why is it not suitable?"

Zhu Qizhen returned to the East Palace, continued to listen to the Taifu's class, and took the time to complain to the eunuch: "Mr. Wang, I saw a woman today."

Wang Zhen asked, "What kind of woman did Your Highness see?"

woman?Your Highness, you are only seven years old, what kind of woman are you talking about?

Zhu Qizhen recalled the tall and strong back that he saw when he entered the door, and said confidently: "In the past, Princess Taiping ordered the strong servants in the palace to kill Xue Huaiyi, probably with such a stature. Only such His stature is enough to kill a great monk."

Wang Zhen smiled and bent over: "Hahahaha"

Zhu Qizhen patted the table and laughed: "Hahahahaha"
